Firstly, I must start by thanking a number of people who are helping us to turn George Street Primary
School into the first school of choice for parents. Warren Hall, for turning the lawns into a showpiece for
our visitors this week, Annette Trahair for the wonderful floral display that we have proudly placed in
our foyer and I need to thank staff for their contribution this week to our kindergarten visits. Angela
Field, Kaylene Kerr and Merrilyn McCallum.
What a successful week it has been, with many inquiries from parents stemming from these visits. The
positive feedback has been an inspiration to staff and this feedback will go back out into the community.
Well done, to everyone involved. I’d also like to again, thank Allen Walkeden for his ongoing support to
the school. Many of you are aware he volunteers his time to cleaning up our grounds and small
maintenance work around the school.
Our planning of the camp to Sovereign Hill is well underway, with all the activities booked. Please
ensure your payments are up to date. The final payment is due Monday 4th November. Please remember,
we have pre-paid these activities and often, if cancelled we forfeit a deposit.
Staff are continuing their assessment of students, so please ensure your child /children are on time to
school as any lateness often causes delays to their learning. If there are any issues or concern regarding
your child’s progress please contact the classroom teacher prior to the report timeline.
Our partnership with the Bank of Melbourne continues, particularly with our Grade 5 /6 students. Our
students are able to open their own bank account with them and banking will occur each week, however
parents need to see me to sign a banking form. This is such a great initiative and teaches our students
such important life skills. I encourage all parents to encourage their child.
Teacher Nick, reads to our
Kindergarten visitors.
Year 5/6 have been looking at
electric circuits this week in
science. They made a number of
circuits using switches, lights, a
fan and a resistor.
Cordel and Nick experiment with
circuits.
Jo and Ben enjoy working with
clay in their Art session.
Kaylene helping out with our visitors from
the kindergarten.
Jack and Chloe make some interesting
shapes with their clay.
Cooper and Daniel
working well in Art.
5/6 Science Experiment
Students made a crystal snowflake using—string, jar, pipe cleaners, food coloring, boiling
water, borax & rod or pencil. Well done 5/6 they look great!
Artist of the Week
This week in art students have again been
exploring with clay. This week they made pinch
and coil pots. They also started to use tools such
as rolling pins, skewers and scissors to sculpture
their clay into something of free choice.
Well done Anamieka, Our Artist of the Week!
Friday Fruit sponsored by Aldi.
